First Time Flying with Emirates and Dubai Airport

Assalamualaikum w.b.t.

It was my first time flying Emirates and happy sangat masa dapat tahu our flight from KUL - IST was scheduled to be with Emirates. Since it is known as the strongest airline worldwide, I was curious to know how does it feel like flying with them.

Alhamdulillah, the day came, so I boarded the flight and transit di Dubai for 6 hours. Masa transit, saya spent the time di area connecting as our final and next destination is Istanbul.

Emirates Airlines

My first impression, seat besar and the overall interior looks new. First leg saya duduk area aisle, masa balik dapat window seat. Fuh, memang superb selesa ya! Flight clean and packed tapi paling best, lavatory tip top!

Dapat juga tengok crew Emirates yang pakai cap merah ala-ala Arabian tu. Hampir all flights (KUL - DXB, DXB - IST and DXB - KUL), saya mintak stewardess untuk capture free polaroid photo (walaupun complimentary for kids only well, I just braced it) sebagai kenangan di darat gitu haha. 

Makanan pula memang sedap and pelbagai. Saya masih teringat-ingat milkcake nya. Tak sempat nak lelap mata dah ditanya "coffee or tea?" 

In-flight entertainment pula ada macam-macam options tapi saya tak ada preferences, so I did not really make full use of the seat's screen.

Maybe next time flying, saya nak try request tomato juice sebab orang cakap tomato juice dalam flight, at that altitude, rasa sedap and can help ease your guts?

  

Dubai Airport

6 jam transit nak tengok Burj Khalifa pun tak sempat. Masa transit from KUL, saya masih semangat nak berjalan sebab masih ada energy. Sampai je Dubai Airport, terus tag hand carry, jalan from end to end.

Currency UAE pakai AED. Di Malaysia, saya tukar sikit sebagai habuan ada cash di tangan, just in case card decline ke kan. Last-last cash tak pakai pun, mostly pakai Bigpay and credit card saja, tap-tap sampai tak sedar diri 😆

Saya ambil peluang untuk cuci mata tengok barang-barang di duty free area. Jam, jewelleries, barang-barang high-end memang boleh nangis eh tengok harganya.

Satu sebab mahal but comparatively actually is reasonable. On top of that, ada design-design goods yang rare! Saya sempat beli seutas jam tangan dan a few perfumes untuk dibawa balik ke Malaysia.

Every purchase perlu scan boarding pass.

Tak lupa juga kenangan minum chaai AED 21 di Project Chaiwala. Kononnya nak rasa vibe Dubai minum teh panas yang ada herbs seperti buah pelaga. Truly "Habibi, Welcome to Dubai."

Authentic Thai Cuisine di ParaThai

Image
Assalamualaikum w.b.t.  Sawadikha. I have been to Thailand a few times. Living in the North, it was reachable. The recent one we took a trip to Hatyai . . . for food, sponsored by my beloved dad. I love Hatyai for its food. Still teringat-teringat ayam goreng and tomyam. Ugh, drooling. 😖  So, it was a fine Saturday, pagi-pagi lagi, saya, ibu dan ayah singgah di Tesco Seberang Jaya sebab my mom nak tengok kain di Nagoya + Jalan-Jalan Japan. Well, that was the initial plan. Habis membeli kain, kami bertiga kelaparan dan nak cari tempat lunch. I have always wanted to try ParaThai and the only thing that stopped me was the depiction of it on social media. I don't fancy "polished" restaurant and I kedekut so I am not willing to spend extra money if it is only for the hype! I told my parents that let's just take our lunch at ParaThai di Sunway Carnival. Lebih kurang 15 minutes (termasuk cari parking) dari Tesco. Our first time and I did research while my dad drove us there...

Greece Part 1: Kucing di Kavala

Image
Assalamualaikum w.b.t. I really love cats and had one cat called Kopi. Simply because he is black, local breed and it sounds masculine haha! Kopi tidur atas luggage saya semasa saya pack barang to Saudi a few years back During my Balkan trip when I was in Kavala, Greece, kucing-kucing di sana sangat banyak dan gemuk-gemuk. Tapi tak segebu kucing di Istanbul.   Memandangkan kawasan Kavala ini seperti perairan, saya dapat lihat banyak kapal-kapal docking di sini, banyak lagi kucing yang berkeliaran di sekitar bay. In fact, semasa saya hikinng ke Kavala fortress, saya boleh nampak the local cats sheltered from drizzles di hadapan cafe-cafe dan kedai souvenirs. Of course, I think they are so used to tourists that they seem camera-ready all the time. They look so cute, while tucking their paws to themselves sebab sejuk sangat. Langsung tak takut dengan people and too jinak. Semasa kami lunch di one of the seafood restaurants, the cats gathered as a group to catch our attention and minta...

Short Meet-Up Bersama Rakan Baik di Pak Mat Western

Image
Assalamualaikum w.b.t. Baru-baru ini, saya ke Pak Mat Western for a short meet up setelah hampir 1 tahun tidak berjumpa dua rakan baik saya. Kami tiba di sana hampir jam 6:30 petang setelah masing-masing pulang dari waktu bekerja. Meski pun bukan kali pertama saya menjejakkan kaki ke restoran terkenal ini, saya sangat teruja kerana ini kali pertama saya pergi bersama dengan dua orang rakan baik saya.  16 - 22 tahun persahabatan Seorang rakan saya kini sedang menghabiskan bulan-bulan terakhir housemanship di sebuah hospital di ibu negeri, manakala seorang lagi merupakan penyelidik di sebuah syarikat swasta.  Masing-masing sudah berada di tempat sendiri, tetapi saya sangat bersyukur kerana masih ada ruang dan waktu untuk berjumpa, walaupun setahun sekali. Kami saling berkenalan sejak dari tadika dan sekolah rendah lagi. Hampir 16-22 tahun lamanya persahabatan ini. Terlalu banyak memori untuk dikenang-kenangkan. Memesan sepinggan Combo Lamb Kali pertama saya ke sini, saya memesan...
